Jake Boone and Colleen Valley can't wait for Apothecaria to open for business this month.

The jars are empty now, but they’ll fill fast with the right notification from state health officials.

The structures, the security and the personnel are in place for Cottage Grove’s newest medical marijuana dispensary, Apothecaria, which received word Monday from the Oregon Health Authority that it has received its license to market the drug to holders of a medical marijuana card. The dispensary is located on Row River Road next to the Cottage Bowl.
